Chapter 21
"Are the preparations nearly completed?" a being stood within a dark cave, a orange, spiral mask hiding his features, aside from his right eye.
"Kisame has been captured and awaiting orders to sabotage the fleet" Sasori of the red sands spoke with his partner standing beside him in silence.
"And of our partner in the fall of Beacon?"
"She has lost what remains of the maidens power, but her mistress has given her a new power, she will be waiting to strike" Kakuzu said with a grunt as he stared to the left.
"Konan, is the Biju ready to be used?"
"Hai" the blue beauty said with a nod.
"Good, get to your stations, when the final match ends… we strike" with that the people vanished.
Meanwhile with Naruto and Raven
Sitting at the front row seats, the two proud parents sat with Ruby cheering for Yang as she blocked a punch from a Genin who scowled at each failed strike, while he was sent back by painful jabs of a professional boxer level girl.
And it was bad enough that she was a spawn from the Kyūbi jinchūriki.
Rushing at Yang for one more attempt he failed to notice bright yellow chains shoot out from the ground between the two, the only thing the foolish boy saw was Yang's smirk before he was knocked unconscious by the bullets of chains, flying away to the wall he was stopped by chains curling around his form and softly place him on the ground before the chakra chains faded away.
"An incredible victory!" Port cheered with Yang jumping with her hands in the air, smiling at seeing Raven clapping excitedly with her own bright smile, Naruto though, he sat down with a proud smile the girl saw, before his eyes widen in fear before he teleported, making Yang turn in time to see a Kunai aimed for her throat if not for both her father and Kakashi holding the arm in place.
The Genin giving out a grunt of pain as Naruto's grip tightened to the point of breaking the bone before both he and Kakashi shoved the boy away as Atlas soldiers came to arrest the boy with the new robots.
Moving to Yang the father knelt down to check her for any wounds.
"Dad, I'm fine" Yang said with a smile as the Genin was taken away.
"How unyouthful!" a shout from the crowd made the three people on the arena shiver.
"Alright, let's get off the arena for the next fighters, I believe its Pyrrha vs someone from Suna" Naruto said as he held Yang's shoulder before teleporting to Raven and leave with her.
Appearing at the academy the blonde was rushed to by an excited Ruby who hugged the older sister with Naruto smiling proudly
Raven hugging the two with laughs as Naruto stood on the sidelines before he began to feel dread on the horizon.
The next day
Upon the stadium being readied and prepared for the next fight, Naruto still couldn't shake the feeling of dread as Yang and Ruby left to cheer for their friend, all that left was the adults to relax, except those on guard duty.
Which Jason had been sighing to for the last few hours as he stood within the computer room where all the security cameras were connected to, looking to each one with an observing gaze, the Voorhees descendant ignored the soft snores from Lucien in the back he looked through the angles before his eyes caught the sight of a man in a black robe with red clouds on it his eyes narrowed before walking off with his mask, turning to the sleeping Lucien he called out to the Faunus.
"Lucien, wake up, I think we're about to get a head-ache" Jason said before leaving the room after the Faunus stood up with a wide-awake look, following after his teammate in silence.
Leaving with the wolf Faunus in his stead the two made their way to the Bullhead hangar with Lucien rolling his shoulders as they stepped onto a Bullhead to leave and investigate.
With Kakashi and Anko, the two were walking among the festival ground with Anko in Kakashi's right arm's embrace, the two sharing a ball of cotton candy Anko giggled as she licked a ball of said candy off of Kakashi's right cheek, smiling brightly with the two walking around they stopped at noticing a man in a black cloak with red clouds slouched forward ahead of them in silence, as if waiting as he stared at a video screen of a fight against Pyrrha Nikos and an unknown opponent.
Getting a narrowed gaze from Kakashi the man turned to them with a smirk.
"Ahh, Hatake Kakashi and Mitarashi Anko, to what pleasure do I intake from your attention?" Sasori of the red sands said with Kakashi sending a glare to the Akatsuki member before his glare was sent to every Jonin surrounding the two as Sasori looked to the screen to see Pyrrha smashed the puppet to the ground, looking to the distance he saw Kakuzu waiting patiently.
As Kakuzu was making himself known in painfully obvious sight he was waiting patiently for the security to take notice of him his wait was shortened at seeing a Bullhead hovering above he smirked as he leaped away as Jason landed where he stood, his mask adorning his face the two stared at one another as Lucien landed in a crouch.
"Do you know how long I was waiting?"Kakuzu grumbled out to the two as they looked to one another in confusion before Lucien was snatched by a wooden human to Sasori who faced the wolf Faunus as he was dropped to the ground.
Getting up with a growl with his features shifting he growled as he regained control of himself.
"Who are you two?" Jason questioned with his grip on his Machete tightening as Kakuzu tore his coat off to show his entire chest covered in stitches, with threats wiggling out of his skin in a way of being alive, making Jason narrow his eyes as the three groups stood at a standstill, a very tense situation that even a twig breaking would set it off.
It was at this scene Pein looked from above the groups with a look of indifference before turning to the stadium above.
Before floating off to Beacon's outskirts finding Madara and Konan sitting on the sides of a monk with his eyes blindfolded with a scroll of the fight before the man who calls himself Madara Uchiha.
"Kakuzu and Sasori are ready to make their move" Pein said with the two looking up
"Is Kisame ready to turn the generals fleet against him?"
Looking to the distance with a faraway gaze, he turned back to them with a nod for confirmation.
"Good, all that's left to for Deidera to give the signal… by the way, what did he use for the signal?" Madara's only answer was Pein pointing to Nikos' opponent, with Madara smiling wickedly.
Standing in a Bullhead stationed to assault Beacon, Cinder fall and her follower sat down in wait for the signal to attack she had a look of anger towards the academy with her eyes glowing slightly.
Back with the three, Lucien stood against Sasori with his eyes studying him, narrowing them further with a slight sniff of the air he stood straight.
"So your hiding in a puppet, clever" Lucien said as Sasori summoned a puppet, of the Sandaime Kazekage, bringing out another scroll, Lucien's eyes narrowed in suspicion at reading it thanks to Naruto's language his eyes glared at Sasori as he summoned silver sand.
"I took the liberty of preparing for this fight, don't feel insulted, though" Sasori said as Lucien snarled as they stood at a standstill all four of those allied with Naruto.
It was with the small explosion of a signal in the coliseum above that made the three fighters charge at each other, with Sasori using the puppet to send the silver sand to the wolf Faunus who was forced to dodge, while Jason stood still as Kakuzu stared at him with threads moving over his skin.
While Kakashi and Anko dispatched the first Jonin with Anko entangling his legs while Kakashi shifted his mechanical arm into a blade he used to decapitate the foolish man, his exposed eye a glare as he fought with Anko.
With Madara and Pain, the Uchiha went through a series of hands signs
"Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei" Madara declared as a coffin sprouted from the ground with a familiar rose insignia sat on the door before it fell down to show Summer Rose who looked up with her silver eyes looking with focus.
